CRICKET.

[Reuter Telegrams.]

LONDON, Aug. 2. The attendance was twenty thousand. Mailey and Griminett had the batsmen in constant difficulties and every run lii:ul to be fought for. The fielding was smart. Turnbull turned tlio breaks well But eventually misjudged a ball from Griminett and returned the catch. The five remaining Glamorgan wickets fell for an additional nineteen runs. When the Australians went in Ryder was lucky not to be out in Mercer’s second over. Then lie. and Ponsford hit out freely, though Ryan, who obtained a- big turn from the leg side worried the batsmen. The Ilyan-Sullivan combination proved too much for the early strikers mid the score was 123 for 5 when Bardsiey and Wood full became associated." They soon settled down and carried the total to two hundred when Bardsiey declared. Ryan and Davies kept an excellent length and gave few opportunities to score.. They were splendidly assisted by the field. Glamorgan opened the second strike disastrously, four wickets‘going for nineteen. Then Walters and Davies stopped the rot. driving forcefully till time.

RIFT IN CRICKET TEAM. (Received tills day at 12.25 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 2. There had been some comment with reference to Ryder who on Saturday bowled one over and was taken off It is believed to he in consequence of his moving tho field without consultation with the enptuin. To-day Ik did not attempt to field a drive from Griminett, and after consultation between the latter and Bardsiey, Ryder was moved to another portion of thcfield.
